27. Social media, especially YouTube...

Mon Nov 10, 2025, 11:07 AM

Monday

Start a dedicated YouTube channel. Post that daily presser everywhere. Eventually MSM will likely pick up on it, but personally I don't think so much time and energy should be given to MSM any more. None of it. The journos who were on MSM and were fired over the last year are killing it on social media, perhaps getting more attention than when they did have a traditional platform.

These are new times and these new tools need to be capitalized upon much, much better. (It's also a lot cheaper than MSM. A LOT.)
